Colin has more than 25 years of security and risk-related experience.

Colin joined the Royal Scots in 1989, and after nine years, he passed SAS selection first time.

SAS MISSIONS:

Colin’s Special Forces team were involved in some of the most daring and high profile SAS missions in the past two decades.

Not many people have taken part in hostage negotiations, hostage rescue and been a hostage themselves – Colin is one of them!

On one mission, he waded through swamps in Sierra Leone hunting down the ‘West Side Boys’, a guerrilla gang holding 11 British soldiers hostage. It was a mission so dangerous they nicknamed it ‘Operation Certain Death’ – it’s official name was Operation Barras.

The SAS teams secured the hostages’ building and neutralised any West Side Boys.

Furthermore, Maclachlan was the first sniper on the scene when a hijacked flight with 180 passengers landed at Stansted. Sparking a four-day stand-off, it was the most prolonged standing hostage siege in the UK.

Four years later, Colin was on the other side of a rescue mission when he was taken hostage in Basra.

Blindfolded, battered and stripped naked, he had a gun pressed to his head and the trigger pulled, as his captors held mock executions. The only reason Colin survived long enough for British troops to rescue him was due to the terrorists wanting to film his suffering in a propaganda video before his planned execution.

Colin left the SAS shortly after completing an exchange programme with Delta Force and Seal Team 6.

He has since provided security consultancy for the Saudi Royal Family, Celebrities and U.S Media Networks.

Furthermore, Colin has a First Class MA (Hons.) in History from Edinburgh University and also an M.Litt in Terrorism from St. Andrews University.

Colin is also a brilliant Motivational  and Key Note Speaker.
